I wrote a series of Deep Space Nine ficlets about space Jews for the Purimgifts exchange this year, which was an interesting experience because a.) it's definitely the most Jewish fic I've written, including the year I wrote Fiddler on the Roof fic and b.) I tend to forget that many people don't necessarily know things like 'who is Queen Vashti' or 'what is a Purimshpil.' Which doesn't really matter, because these fics are unashamedly written for the people who do know those things, and that's fine. But it was an interesting experience nonetheless.

Anyway: Space Jews Celebrating Space Purim. I have accidentally given myself a lot of Jewish Star Trek headcanons now. Anyone want to talk to me about Starfleet Academy Hillel?

I sometimes feel weird about my enthusiasm for these because I am not in the least Jewish, but I am *always* here for Space Jews. Those were great!

Also if there are Vulcan Jews there must also be Romulan Jews, stands to reason, and I have wanted someone to tell me things about Romulan Jews for ages.

Please feel free to be as enthusiastic as you would like. :DD I'm glad you liked them!

OF COURSE THERE ARE ALSO ROMULAN JEWS *___* (Though someone else will have to write about them because the little I know about Romulans is even less than what I know about Vulcans.)

I feel like they should have kept some of the traditions of ritual sacrifice—I don't feel like the original separatists would have gone in for all that rabbinic logic. Maybe they have temples.
